clearly seen from the great peaks of the range
Q hundred miles away
1t Is . marvellous SIGHT, this golden flower
upborne upon the cool white marble walls,
and 1 doubt if the world can show such an
other. What makes the whole effect even
more gorgeous is that belt of $50 feet
around the marble wall Of the temple is
planted with an indigenous species of sun
flower, which were at the time when We first
saw them q sheet Of golden bloom.
The main entrance to this wonderful place
Is between the two northernmost Of the RAYS
or petal courts, and is protected first by the
usual bronze gates, and then 10y doors made
Of soli marble. beautifully carved with allie

mystic, wonderful, open out the raw like
courts, each pierced through by n single
arrow OF light that serves to illumine its
lofty silence and dimly 10 reveal the monu-

Overcome at 81 awe inspiring a sight, the
vast loveiiness Of which thrills the nerves like
a glance from beauty's ewes, you turn TO the
